Section 11.1 1. Since the right hand sides of the ODE and the boundary conditions are all zero, the boundary value problem is homogeneous. 3. The right hand side of the ODE is nonzero. Therefore the boundary value problem is

Chapter 7: Angular Momentum
The applications of quantum mechanics to three-dimensional problems begin with a
description of angular momentum. Angular momentum in quantum mechanics is a more
general concept than its classical counterpart.
Classically, ang
